Gerwyn Price Current Form – WWWLW
Gerwyn Price is enjoying a relatively pleasant experience at the PDC Premier League Darts this year. He is currently second on the table having already beaten his opponent this evening, and current log leader, Luke Humphries.
Considering Price was able to beat Humphries 6-3 last time out – which saw Gerwyn go on and beat Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall – there is no denying the Welshman will come into this encounter with a greater air of confidence.
Gerwyn Price News
In Dublin, week three of the Premier League Darts, Price achieved his first victory of the season, beating Littler, Humphries and Aspinall. Considering many armchair critics questioned why he would be included in the tournament in the first place – it is safe to say he would have enjoyed that win.
Luke Humphries Current Form – LWLWW
Luke Humphries is currently top of the pops – but he will know better than anyone else that he just cannot afford to get comfortable. He will no doubt be looking for revenge over his opponent on Thursday – and remind everyone that he is still the world's number one darts player.
Cool Hand Luke might be 1-1 with Price at the moment, but he will think he is the better player. He won all of their encounters last year and if he approaches this game with an aggressive intention, he will be hoping to not allow Price to even get going.
Luke Humphries News
Humphries has admitted that he feels as though there have been a lot of ‘almosts’ at this year’s event. He hasn’t managed to get over the line in big moments – but he is still in pole position. There has been a bit of back and forth between Peter Wright and Luke Humphries, but that was put to bed after Humphries reminded Wright that he was one title away from matching everything Wright had done throughout his career!
Suggested Bets
These are our suggested bets for this darts encounter!
Match Winner (Luke Humphries): He might have lost to Price recently, but his overall performances have still been at the level of a player who is number one in the world. Back him to win this! 51/100 (1.51) with Betway.
Luke Humphries (-1.5 Legs): This will be a competitive match, closely contested for sure. However, Humphries is playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder here and with that comes an added aggression. Back him to overcome the -1.5 legs. 8/10 (1.8) with 1xBet.
Most 180s (Luke Humphries): Humphries knows how to find 180s. The frequency with which he hits maximums is outstanding, back him to once again outscore his opponent here. 5/4 (2.25) with Pinnacle.
Value Bets
Exact Score: 6-4 (Humphries): It is always difficult to predict the correct score. However, given the potential for fine margins to play a role here – back Humphries to win 6-4. 3/1 (4.0) with Stake.
170 Checkout (Yes): Back a 170 checkout to land between these two players – given their propensity for aggressive play, it might be a shrewd little Thursday pick. 7/1 (8.0) with Stake.
Match Winner & Most 180s (Humphries): Combine these two aspects for maximum value in a single wager. 2/1 (3.0) with Betway.
Prediction: Luke Humphries to win
His current form leaves a lot to be desired, but the second you count Luke Humphries out of any engagement – you have made a grave mistake. We have spoken a bit about it already, but the fact that the current Premier League leader might be playing with something to prove suggests he will find another gear here.
